More on Endorsements

by MAX JOHNSON

All three major daily Newspapers endorsed John Kasich for Governor of Ohio. Do the readers of those papers actually believe that Kasich will be the best candidate for Columbus, Cleveland or even Cincinnati? Have we heard any plan that would benefit the major cities? Shouldn't these papers speak on behalf of the readers in making endorsements? He has proposed cutting expenses and canceling the high speed rail project. How is that good for the three big cities? What state funded government program is not necessary to Cleveland? Is it elementary education? Colleges and Universities? Foreclosure assistance? Law enforcement? Health care for seniors or the disabled? I don't understand how Kasich canceling the train will help Columbus? I have not heard anything from Kasich about a plan to bring jobs to Cincinnati?

I just cannot understand how these papers could endorse the Lehman Brothers candidate. I don't understand how these guys are even close in the polls. What is Kasich going to bring to Ohio and especially the heart of Ohio: our cities? Higher pollution, larger numbers of students in the classroom, and an attack on the federal government's health care plan seems to be the policy of the candidate for the Corporate Party. We will see greater tension between the federal regulators and the state government, and we will see a mess of a state budget. There will be more mentally ill people and drug addicted people turned away from treatment, and fewer resources going to the cities and counties to pay for law enforcement, jails, and parks. Someone needs to explain what Kasich stands for, and not what he stands against?
